New Design Thinking

Date: Thursday 26th April 2012, 12:30pm - 01:30pm

Venue: Connect, The Media Centre

 
Designers, consultants and graduates are taking the leap into service design or ‘business transformation’. It’s a hot topic and a growing industry. What Could Be are focused on delving into what that means for the design agency sector and sharing powerful insights with designers and their clients.
 
This short introduction to service design highlights how good design of brand, product and environment is no longer enough. We need to extend the power of design thinking to services, processes and experiences. 
 
We invite you to join us to debate the future of design agencies and how they can benefit from service design.
 
If a designer can design a business card, can they not use a similar thinking process to help design a business?
 
Presented by Lesley Gulliver and Darren Evans, What Could Be
 
A light lunch will be served.
 
Space is extremely limited to ensure a good discussion.

Date: Thursday 23rd February 2012, 12:30pm - 01:30pm

Venue: Connect, The Media Centre

Psychometric profiles and personality tests open up real opportunities to understand yourself, your customers and people better. But too often these techniques are used for recruitment and away-day activities, then forgotten and never used again.

In this short workshop business coach Veronica Baldwin will show how psychometric tools can be put into day-to-day use and play an important part of the key to business success and sustainability.
